Description

Berkeley Neighbors for Housing Climate Action, the Berkeley Democratic Club and South Berkeley Now! are excited to host an evening discussion on recent houising policy successes in Oregon. In 2019, Oregon passed a groundbreaking bill that effectively legalized multifamily apartment homes statewide as well as a statewide rent cap and just cause eviction law. Madeline Kovacs of the Sightline Institute (a Berkeley native!) will join local housing advocate Randy Shaw to discuss the grassroots organizing that made these progressive housing reforms possible and their impact on social equity and environmental justice. Please join us to understand what Berkeley and California can learn from Oregon's recent successes.
